Any piece of digital content in the world on a more secure, decentralized web.

ARA is a new distributed protocol with decentralized identity, rewards, distribution, and commerce

A New Distributed Protocol

The internet is broken: a handful of centralized companies own the world’s data, content, and distribution. This drives up infrastructure costs for businesses and developers, and takes ownership away from consumers.

The ARA community-driven platform and developer SDKs leverage distributed computing, blockchain, and the sharing economy to make the delivery and sale of assets and experiences quick, cost-effective, and secure.

How it Works

ARA is designed to remove marketplace middlemen. The system creates a way for selling digital goods which allows any artist, creator, or publisher to sell licensed content directly to consumers. Digital content on ARA is only shared to authorized users and removes unnecessary fees.

Sell anything digital directly to consumers

Access content from vast decentralized network

Community driven, secure file transfers create a more efficient, and scalable system.

ARA Rights, Distributed Ownership Ledger

Secure and validate licensed content on the blockchain

Know who has your content and that it hasn’t been modified in any way with a secure proof of ownership ledger built on the blockchain.

Users earn ARA rewards by contributing to the network

Participate in the network; earn Ara

Consumers or businesses earn ARA passively for their work; which can be used to buy content or create licenses.

The Community

CONSUMERS

Users can leverage unused compute power to share files, and earn rewards to not pay for content or have to watch ads. By having a minimum balance and gaining reputation, participants can earn even more rewards through priority peer discovery.

CREATORS

Content owners can publish directly into the system through ARA-enabled applications; allowing them to remove unnecessary revenue splits and distribute content securely.

DEVELOPERS

Developers benefit from the suite of ARA SDK’s to quickly build next generation applications to sell any digital asset to the consumer and define rewards allocations.
